Poster - Camarada! Trabaja y Lucha por la Revolucion
Comrade! Work and Fight for the Revolution by L. Angel.
Produced by the Confederacion Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), the Spanish anarchist trade union - National Confederation of Labour.
The CNT was founded in November 1910, with a membership of 26,000 at a conference of workers societies in Barcelona and had its first national congress the following year. A general strike was immediately called in Barcelona and the CNT was declared illegal. By 1919 there were 700,000 members. As the CNT grew, employers became more worried and hired armed thugs (pistoleros) to intimidate or assassinate union members. The CNT took part in revolutionary strikes and uprisings throughout the period leading up to the 1936 Revolution and Civil War, including uprisings in Catalonia, Asturias and Andalusia. By 1937 the CNT had 1.5 million members.
From the start of the attempted coup in 1936, the CNT had a decisive role in events, but by May 1937 the Republican Government, under the influence of the PCE, was reversing its achievements, suppressing the collectives, forcing militias to join the regular army or be disbanded and arresting militants.
